	§3. Charles Robert Maturin. VIII. Nineteenth-Century Drama. Vol. 13. The Victorian Age, Part One. The Cambridge ...
		That influence can be clearly discerned in the plays of Charles Robert Maturin, an Irish clergyman, whose three tragedies—Bertram; or, The Castle of St. Aldobrond; Manuel; and Fredolfo—were produced in London in the years 1816 and 1817.
		Maturin’s Bertram, with its gloomy “Byronic” herovillain, its strained sentiment, its setting in castle and monastery and its attempt at the portrayal of frantic passions, has all the vices of a vicious order of tragedy.
		Maturin, in later years, admitted that his acquaintance with life was so limited as to make him dependent on his imagination alone (and he might have added the imagination of other dramatists) for his characters, situations and language.

		Charles Robert Maturin (1790-1824) was born in Dublin of a Huguenot family.
		Maturin implicitly criticised organised religion in his works and his writing for the stage was considered an improper connection for a clergyman.
		Maturin was a great uncle of Oscar Wilde and when Wilde was released from prison he went to the continent, leading a rather nomadic existence under the pseudonym Sebastian Melmoth, feeling himself a tortured wanderer.

	Charles Maturin - Penguin Classics Authors - Penguin Classics
		Charles Robert Maturin was born in Dublin in 1782, and educated at Trinity College.
		Maturin's Calvinist upbringing lent to his work a strong sense of the soul's relationship with God, which can also be seen in the work of James Hogg, William Godwin and Godwin's daughter, Mary Shelley.
		Maturin's tales were, however, always more extravagant and macabre, and led to his reputation as one of the foremost writers of the Gothic school.

	The Literary Gothic \| Charles Maturin
		Personally, I'd vote for Harrison Ainsworth's Rookwood; Melmoth may be less the last of its kind that one of the first of a new kind, or at least a transitional work that marks the evolution away from conventional Gothic and its reliance on external atmospherics to a more psychological Gothic.
		We're still a long way from "The Turn of the Screw," to be sure, for Maturin does not forsake mouldering ruins, subterranean spaces, depraved villains, skeleton monks and the like, but his powerful interest in the psychology of suffering and alienation makes this something much more sophisticated than most early Gothics.
		Maturin's only known short story, this is a Halloween treat featuring a variation on that old ballad standby, the spectre bridegroom, and may well have influenced Joseph Sheridan LeFanu's "Schalken the Painter."

		That exception, however, Charles Robert Maturin, for the sake of at least one thing that he did, and perhaps, of a certain quality or power diffused through his other work, deserves to rank far above Lewis, and not a little above Mrs.
		In technical originality, indeed, he must give way, certainly to her, and, in a fashion, also, to Lewis; while he probably owes something to Beckford, to whose master-scene, at the close of Vathek, even his best things are very inferior.
		Maturin followed Bertram with two failures in play form, and Melmoth with a doubtfully successful novel The Albigenses, in 1824, the year of his death.

		Maturin's complex technique includes distortions of chronology and history.

		Its tormented villain seeks a victim to release from his fatal pact with the devil, and Maturin's bizarre narrative structure whirls the reader from rural Ireland to an idyllic Indian island, from a London madhouse to the dungeons of the Spanish inquisition.
		Charles Robert Maturin (1782-1824), an ordained clergyman in the Church of Ireland, wrote several Irish romances, in addition to his Gothic novels.
		Maturin and his characters are quick to point out that this is not 'Radcliffe-romance' gothic, in the direct style of works like "The Mysteries of Udolpho".

		The name Maturin will be familiar to many, but perhaps as a memory of Patrick O'Brian and his Napoleonic Navy stories rather than one of the few descended from the Huguenot Pastor from Paris, Gabriel Maturin.
		The name Maturin was also used by Somerset Maugham in The Razor's Edge, perhaps picked as Charles Robert's entry in the Dictionary of National Biography is very close to his own.
		The most recently publicised Maturin was the actor Eric who appeared with Paul Robeson in Sanders of the River in 1935 and in The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp in 1943.

		Published in 1820, Maturin's "Melmoth the Wanderer" is usually named as the last of the Gothic novels.
		Maturin pulls out all the stops of his time in creating situations of hopelessness, fear, and both religous and social sadism.

		Everyone knows where we are political; in poetry we are with the vampires”. This is how Charles Nodier described the spirit of his time back in 1820, when a new kind of literature had reached its climax — the gothic novel.
		Examples for classical gothic novels of this time would be: Ann Radcliffe’s “The Italian; or, The Confessional of the Black Penitents”, Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” or Charles Robert Maturin’s “Melmoth the Wanderer”, which is considered as the last gothic novel using all characteristic features.
		This influence is also felt in today’s description of the antagonist with his evil characteristics or in the melodramatic aspects of a romance by the gothic motif of a persecuted maiden who is forced apart a true love.
